Welcome to STRidER!

STRidER (STRs for Identity ENFSI Reference Database) is the expanded and enhanced version of the ENFSI STRbASE (2004-2016). This curated online high quality STR allele frequency population database enables scientifically reliable STR genotype probability estimates and provides quality control of autosomal STR data. A suite of software tools has been developed at the Institute of Legal Medicine, Medical University of Innsbruck to scrutinize STR population data and thus increase the quality of datasets to ensure reliable allele frequency estimates. STRidER acts as frequency database and software platform for the development of novel tools for STR data QC and other forensic analyses.

STRidER serves the STR community in forensics and beyond in inter-related ways:

The STRidER online platform is work in progress. Additional datasets and features will continuously become available. To receive periodic news and stay updated about STRidER, register here for the STRidER newsletter.
